“I do not want to see Vettel driving like this in years to come. He doesn?óÔé¼Ôäót need to. I believe that Michael Schumacher’s quite exceptional achievements as a Grand Prix driver will always be tainted by his occasionally forcing others off the road.”

“Let?óÔé¼Ôäós not forget that Michael [Schumacher] was clearly the number one driver at Ferrari; everything was geared towards him. Often his team mates simply drove for him. Whatever people may say about Red Bull and their perceived favouritism towards [Sebastian] Vettel, not many would question that the Australian receives equal treatment and equal opportunity.”

“Vamos beber” is Portguese, and means “let?óÔé¼Ôäós drink!” in English.

From the forum

There are now groups and forums set up for all of the races on the 2012 F1 calendar. If you’re planning a trip to one of these races and can share information with other F1 Fanatics who are, join in here:

McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh believes Formula 1 chiefs may need to look into the rules regarding mirror dimension, following the latest clash between Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa.

I’m not sure I like that Whitmarsh wants to make this a ‘teams’ issue considering only one of his drivers seems to have a problem with the mirrors, let alone the rest of the field. Haven’t the dimensions of the mirrors remained pretty much unchanged for several years now? I don’t think they’re any different to the ones on Lewis’ 2008 title winning MP4/23.

I think the dimensions and the mountings of the mirrors were change ahead of last year’s Chinese Grand Prix. Teams were treating them as aerodynamics aids first, and rear-view mirrors second. The FIA changed the regulations to fix the mirrors to the survival cell when teams had been placing them out on the vertical fins in front of the sidepods.

â€œHRT will run Narain Karthikeyan in first practice in Korea again in place of Vitantonio Liuzzi.”

I think that’s a mistake – the teams know comparatively little about Korea, given last year’s washout. Liuzzi will need just as much track time as Daniel Ricciardo. More, since he’s the more-exerienced driver.

Those helmet cam and eye level cams are amazing. I really hope we see something like that in F1 soon as it makes you far more involved. They did something like that for the GP2 race at Monza and that went down really well.

I know people have said it before but FOM really need to come up with better race feeds as these static cameras are becoming more and more old fashioned.
